Our Mission

The mission of the Rattlesnake Fire Protection District is to mitigate our
customers' fire and medical emergencies with competence and compassion; and to
educate our residents through comprehensive prevention programs.

Elbert County Burn Restrictions: Stage 2

We are in a stage 2 burn ban! Any time you want to burn in Rattlesnake Fire's District a burn permit is required unless you have an approved burn pit. Burn permits are only issued when Elbert County is in a stage 1 or stage 2 burn ban. Absolutely no burning is allowed during a stage 3 burn ban. For more information on Ordinance 06-01 click here.

Volunteer Recognition

We appreciate all of our volunteers. Lead Firefighter Tim Ralston put in over 1806 hours of volunteer time into the department in 2017. That is an average of 34.7 hours a week he volunteers! Because Tim is around the station so much he made 31% of the calls in 2017.

Speaking of calls, Assistant Chief Lloyd Standard made 303 of the 319 (95%) calls for service in 2017! This is a record that will be hard to break. While he would love to continue that streak into 2018 he will be occupied by his new grandson Shepherd on Mondays, giving other the opportunity to take the calls championship title from him in 2018.

In The Community

Giving back to the community is something we are proud of and enjoy doing. If you would like to schedule and event with the firefighters please click here and contact an officer at the station near you.
